can i say the biggest problem is the single point injection and due to this there's not much point adding more power as that will restrict it!!.. you could de-cat,manifold,head,cam,chip all the rest but unless you change it to carb's etc i would sell it and buy a multipoint injection car instead

fit an 8V GTI cylinder head,  its ported for a 2.0L and has the full MPI Setup,  basicly u will have a GTi with a 1.8L block.  there is very very little power diffrence between the two when its gone well, Infact you could get better acceleration than a GTI with a good setup.
